One (hopefully final) question. I PROFILE TCPIP I see a series of
START statements at the end, one of which is START CTC1, which is the
connection under discussion here. Is there a way to issue a
statement like this once the stack is up and running? Do I just log
onto the service machine and type this command? Is there a
corresponding STOP command which I could issue first (you know, the
old "unplug it and plug it back in" approach)?

An excellent pedigree! :-)

No. Proxy ARP has limitations and that's one of them. Enter, stage

Haaaates it!

TRACE, MORETRACE, and NOTRACE are TCP/IP configuration statements. They
can be issued dynamically with OBEYFILE (as with most other config
statements). Look in the Planning book for the discussion of both
OBEYFILE and the trace statements. You can also do things like NETSTAT
OBEY MORETRACE IPDOWN and then NETSTAT OBEY NOTRACE IPDOWN.
